The Handmaid's Tale

I have really like this book. Theres a lot to think about I have to read it slowly to get all of whats going on. But I like how Atwood wright she has a way if describing things so that you know what she is talking about wit out outright saying it. Its interesting that we are reading it at this time. It almost seem like the US is going in that direction of falling apart, something big happening. If you watch people right now they’re like horses running around the corral right before a earthquake.

Freedom as a mechanism of control is everywhere through out our entire life. When we are little its or parents telling us what we can and cant do, legally that stops at 18 but in truth that doesn’t stop until you move out and for some it will never stop. Its also in school teachers telling you to do this and do that, you have to be at this place at this time. When you get older it turns in to you are free to do what you want with your education but do this so you can get a good job and make money. After at lest 16 years of schooling, more if you want to do anything that makes good money, you have your boos, you have to do good or they will replace you. Through out your life your free to do what you want but if you don’t follow the system then you will have a hard time surviving you’ll have a ruff life. There are few people that make it to a point where they don’t have to follow someone else but they still had to go through the system to get there.

  1. I agree with this and how freedom is everywhere, yes sometime it has limits but those limits can also be for the best. You can take freedom to your own level. Even when it seems like you don't have any you really have a lot.
